Thanksgiving 2012

November 21, 2012

I’ve had some stressful Thanksgivings with Joseph. His first thanksgiving, I spilled homemade ranch dressing on him and me, and his leg burst out in hives. His second was spent at a brother-in-law’s house, and I was just stressed out, though they were very accommodating in making sure Joseph had food to eat. This year, I’m hosting, which will have its own amount of stress, but I do like to have control over the food. Here’s what I plan for the menu.

Joseph-safe foods

Turkey – Unfortunately, the turkeys on sale at the store I go to had butter/milk listed in the ingredients, probably injected into the turkey. Now that he can tolerate baked milk, he probably would be ok with a roasted turkey with milk, but I decided to go on the safe side and get a Butterball.

With storebought GF cookies, the crust shouldn’t be too hard. And I don’t think the filling will be too hard, substituting coconut milk for the sweetened condensed milk. it’s just getting enough sugar in there to make it taste right.
